Privacy will be more than compliance and will be the foundation of trust

RAVI MUNDRA
VICE PRESIDENT & CO-OWNER FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT (CYBER), TECHNOCRACY PRIVATE LIMITED

“Cybersecurity awareness must be an ongoing, integrated process embedded into an organization’s culture rather than a one-time initiative. As cyber threats evolve, human error remains the weakest link, often leading to phishing attacks, data breaches, and insider threats. To cultivate a truly cyber-resilient workforce, organizations must adopt a multi-layered approach combining education, technology, and proactive security strategies.

PRIORITIZING PRIVACY REGULATIONS

In today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations must prioritize stringent privacy regulations to safeguard data and maintain compliance. I firmly believe in adhering to the key global frameworks -
•    GDPR enforces strict data handling, user consent, and the right to be forgotten.
•    India’s DPDP Act mandates data localization, consent management, and accountability.
•    CCPA enhances consumer data rights and transparency.
•    ISO 27001 & NIST establish best practices for risk management and security governance.

A strategic compliance approach involves Privacy by Design, AI-driven automated compliance, dedicated DPO governance, and robust data audits. Organizations that integrate privacy regulations with cybersecurity strategies will foster trust, enhance legal compliance, and strengthen data protection in an increasingly regulated digital environment.”
